Just took a new set of Callaway Apex irons to the range for the first time.  All in all they're pretty sweet irons, long as hell, with a pretty soft feel at impact.  One thing I noticed is that the turf interaction seemed distinctly different that the MP-53/63s I previously played.  With the Apex's, I seem to take less of a divot, and the sole seems to glide over the turf, even with my 8i and 9i.  With the Mizuno's, I was used to taking a thin, dollar bill sized divot with every club down to maybe my 5i (even the 4i sometimes).  This isn't a deal breaker in the least bit, but I'm curious if I changed my swing a bit because of the new clubs, or if it is indeed a difference in the sole or leading edge.  Thoughts?

No it's the clubs. More camber, more bounce, wider soles with the Apex irons so you'll get more "glide" through impact. For me Mizuno irons tend to "dig" a little, same with TaylorMade MC irons.

    • A fairly solid +7 round yesterday with a double/triple bogeys on 15th/17th for my two blow up holes. Still not up to full speed but there is sufficient distance to tackle a dry 6,000 yard course. Anyway, I often forget that the golf swing is sideways motion with a left side leading focus for majority of the BS and DS (for a right hander). That is the focus here dynamically active left side thigh, hip and upper torso with a low, below plane left hand to start the takeaway and a good left last stretch at P4 with hands. It is almost like my left side is shoving my right side out of the way and behind to start of the takeaway. I think if I were to get on a set of force plates now to compare against my motion a year ago (hypothetically since I didn't back then) I would show some good improvement. Hmm... I wonder who has a set that I can access..🤔😉
